<p>The study is devoted to improving the professional training of students in the field of mathematical modeling in the oil and gas industry. Deeper integration into the training of modern statistical methods and models is used to improve the educational efficiency and develop mathematical models of technological processes of the oil and gas industry. To test the proposed models, a pedagogical experiment with 189 students aged 19 to 21 is performed. The research is based on the November Institute of Oil and Gas in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. The outcomes of training under the new program are evaluated at three levels of competency formation in accordance with the university’s assessment systems. This approach ensures a level playing field for all respondents. The relevance of improving the competence of students in the field of mathematics is proved through the increase in grades at all three levels of competency formation.</p><p>The study describes in detail the system of profile differentiation of the mathematical training, which is based on a modular competency approach and compares various approaches and methods of professional competence formation among oil and gas workers.</p>

<p class="0abstract">Mobile technology is a popular tool used to improve education efficiency. However, its impact on learners in risk assessment training is largely unknown. Projects are fraught with risks so individuals responsible for a project need to possess strong skills to handle the risky circumstances successfully.  Unfortunately, candidates for a bachelor’s degree in technical fields in Russia have an insufficient risk competence. This study offers a five-unit program to solve this problem. The study involved 128 students recruited from the Noyabrsk Institute of Oil and Gas (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia). All participants were divided in three groups: two experimental and one control. During a semester, participants in the experimental group followed the proposed program in a mobile setting, while the control group was offered the standard curriculum. The results showed an improvement in the student outcomes: the test scores of the experimental groups were higher by 24.78% and 32.75% than that of the control group. Furthermore, mobile learners were found to perform better than classroom learners: their test score was higher by 3.5% to 8%.</p>
